Hello, Simone.
Yes, build 15 with SSL/HTTPS support is only a few days away. We are hoping to have it out there on Monday, if we don't find anything during the current regression testing.
In Cassini we had our own listening component, which used sockets straight up. That allowed us to have full access to the state of the TCP connection. In UWS we are using http.sys kernel driver for listening, which let us achieve lots of things in UWS, including port sharing, SSL support, comprehensive request parsing, etc. Http.sys is also used by IIS and IIS Express. .NET Framework provides managed API to access http.sys (a.k.a. http server API) in the form of HttpListenerRequest, HttpListenerResponse and HttpListenerContext classes. Limitations of theses classes dictate limitations of the UWS. One of the limitations is that these classes don't appear to provide access to the connection state.
After build 15 is out, we'll try to dig deeper into
http service API to see whether we can find a way to get to the connection state. We certainly welcome help from our users in improving our free product. We will be very thankful if you could pitch in help with the API research required to solve this problem.
Best regards,
